Abstract:Coastal aquifers that are hydraulically connected to the ocean suffer from the compromised of the wholesomeness of freshwater. The extent of the effect is largely dependent on the degree of aquifer stressing. Consequently, ratios of the stable isotopes of hydrogen (δ2H) and oxygen (δ18O) are integrated with ionic ratios of groundwater samples to assess the effect of intrusion on shallow aquifers in a low‐lying area of the western Niger Delta basin. Geochemical analysis shows sodium chloride (NaCl) water type, … Show more
